It's been 10 years since Gretchen Wilson took the country music world by storm with her debut album, 'Here for the Party,' and in an interview with Taste of Country during 2014 CMA Awards week, the star shares memories of her very first CMAs.

Just one day before the 2014 CMA Awards, Taste of Country caught up with Dan + Shay ... or, one half of the duo, really. Dan Smyers stopped by our booth to chat about his other half, Shay Mooney, and why he was missing in action during interviews.

Dierks Bentley is nominated for a total of five big awards at the 2014 CMA Awards, but he remembers a time when it wasn't that easy for him to find his name in lights during Country Music's Biggest Night.

Carrie Underwood has been hosting the CMA Awards for seven years, but she's been attending since long before that. Every year she shows up on the red carpet, the Oklahoma native looks flawless -- gorgeous gowns, stunning makeup, brilliant blonde locks perfectly primed -- and she continues to follow that pattern throughout the show, year after year.
